Chapter 23 Is Cassie a Playgirl?
Javen said solemnly, “I must consider the company’s matters first. Is there a problem?”
Knowing that she had been rejected again, Kittie bit her lip and remained silent.
After Kittie left, Cassie looked at her crying back and laughed. “Are you sure you want to hurt your sweetheart like this? She’s crying miserably.”
Javen shot her a glance. “Look at the plan.”
Cassie smiled and said, “Jacen is right. You are really a workaholic who doesn’t know how to cherish women.”
Javen didn’t answer her. He lowered his head and read the plan carefully. The sun shone on his face, and through the dim light, Cassie could see his deep eyes.
It was already three o’clock in the afternoon when they finished modifying the plan. Cassie’s stomach suddenly growled.
Javen raised his eyebrows and said, “Go. Let’s eat something.”
They tidied things up quickly and went out, but ran into Kittie, who had just returned to the office. Cassie smiled at her.
Kittie’s swollen eyes became even redder. She wiped her tears and ran straight into the company.
However, this small episode did not affect their mood. Javen took her to his favorite restaurant and ordered two burgers.
Cassie bit her fork and smiled, “Mr. Smith even eats this as well.”
Even if Javen ate a burger, his every movement was still full of nobility. He took a bite, and then said indifferently, “Then what do you think I usually eat? Chinese food or Japanese food?”
“I didn’t think that you would like such mundane food.” Cassie laughed more wantonly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said seriously, “But… I like it, too. I eat it almost every day when I was a child. I think nothing can compare to my dad’s burger.”
Unfortunately, things had changed, and she could no longer go back.
Javen remained silent. He lowered his head and ate his burger, but his mood had been influenced slightly.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
This was the first time he had heard Cassie talk about her own family. Although she mentioned it briefly, he still had a deep feeling about it.
Then they returned to the company. When Cassie was about to sit down and work, a colleague next to her patted her on the shoulder.
“Cassie, look at Twitter, something happened to you!”
Cassie’s heart skipped a beat. She opened Twitter and saw several harsh words in the top search.
“Cassie had intimate interaction with a foreign man while she has an engagement with the Smith family”
“Cassie looks obedient but is a playgirl in fact. All the men in the Smith family were toyed by her.”
“Surrounded by so many men, where would Cassie go?”
…
There was also a blurry picture on Twitter. It was about the scene of Cedric Daniels rubbing her hair at the underground auction that day.
They laughed very happily and looked a little intimate.
Although both of them were wearing sunglasses, it was no problem for them to be recognized.
Cassie narrowed her eyes, a trace of coldness crossing her heart. She was almost sure who made this.
She immediately called Cater and told him to deal with the trending topic. But at the same time, she was called back to the Smith’s House by Uncle Smith.
When she walked out of the company, Javen was going home as well, but he only glanced at her lightly and turned to leave.
Javen must know about the trending topic.
When Cassie returned to Smith’s House, everyone was there. Auntie Smith rebuked her immediately. “Cassie, I always thought you were a good one. I didn’t expect you to be such a fickle woman!”
Cassie frowned. She did not refute but whispered, “It’s a misunderstanding.”
Auntie Smith was furious. “You can dislike my son, but how can you promise to get along well with them while secretly dating another man? Cassie, do you feel sorry for your Uncle Smith?”
Cassie knew that if she didn’t explain it clearly, Uncle Smith might be disappointed to her.
“Cassie, the evidence is clear. Admit to it!” Telly disliked her aloofness for a long time. He sneered. “If you go now, I can reluctantly forgive you.”
But Cassie shook her head. “It’s not what you think. That person is just my senior brother.”
“Senior brother? Who are you kidding?”
Telly’s cold eyes fell on her. “Cassie, even if he is your senior brother, such an intimate act should have happened between intimate people… How can you still argue at this time?”
Uncle Smith frowned slightly with mixed emotions.
He looked at Cassie and asked calmly, “Cas, is that so? Did you really…”
Cassie said in a deep voice, “Uncle Smith, he is really just my senior brother. If you don’t believe me, I can call him.”
A cold smile appeared on Auntie Smith’s lips. “What can a call prove? What if you confess to each other and cover up the truth?”
Cassie felt a headache. In the current situation, there’s nothing she can do to clear her name.
Suddenly, Teddy, who was checking Twitter, said in surprise, “Look at Twitter, someone has issued a long message.”
He was an American Chinese and looked exactly like the man in the photo.
The message said, “I’m already engaged, and we’re getting married in June this year. I treat Cassie as a neighbor’s sister. My master told me to take care of her. So there’s no need to feel conflicted. I hope you netizens can show mercy and let go of this little girl.”
Cedric had won a lot of awards abroad and was very famous, so no one dared to refute his words.
So the situation suddenly changed. Some people even began to guess who took this photo and who wanted to frame Cassie.
Auntie Smith, who had been aggressive just now, extinguished her anger instantly. She looked at Cassie’s face with a myriad of thoughts running through her mind.
“Cassie, I…”
Uncle Smith smiled in satisfaction. “As expected, I knew there wouldn’t be any problems with my judgment. Cas, you have suffered.”
Cassie nodded and said with a smile, “Uncle Smith, thank you for trusting me.”
Telly was also a little embarrassed. He rubbed his nose and said stubbornly, “Sorry, but I still don’t like you.”
“I don’t need you to like me, but don’t randomly frame me.” Cassie glanced at him indifferently and spoke firmly.
Telly clenched his fists. “You’re really going too far!”
“Alright, this matter is over. Don’t talk about it anymore.” Uncle Smith waved his hand to stop Telly from talking further.
Only then did the group disperse. Javen stood not far away. Seeing Cassie stand there quietly without crying or making a fuss and calmly deal with this matter, he had a different feeling.
When Cassie saw his gaze, she tilted her head and smiled at him. “Do you also think I have an affair with another man?”
Javen remained silent, tacitly agreeing to this matter.
He admitted that he did care about it.
But he didn’t think she was that kind of person.
Seeing his look, Cassie smiled.
